Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Burpees are horrible but yes, when you get them right and can do quite a few, they do make you feel 'ard :)

A squat thrust, to standing (with a little jump) and back down again into squat thrust......and repeat as many times as you can before your barf.

A burpee is an implement of torture used by old-fashioned PE teachers.

I know what burpees are but I'm not sure about mountain climbers.

Here's a good vid of one, but he looks hardcore, mine are never quite as impressive (although I am getting a lot smoother in my delivery)

Or the person who is on the receiving end of a particularly malodorous close-range gaseous eructation.

Mountain climbers are like squat thrusts but alternating legs. Works core and butt I imagine

I love Burpees they're the best :). There's a lovely little Crossfit workout, 7 minutes of Burpees non stop. You should all try it.
